Is marketing in forums a viable method of generating an alternative income? While working on my Shoemoney Xtreme course this week, one of the actions was to sign up on various forums and add an affiliate link in several posts on each forum.
I ended up spending several evenings on this task. I found many forums related to the niche I was looking at but each had rules to prevent posting of any links, especially when you stand to profit.
In the end, I finally realized that this is one task that I would be better off skipping over. I’m not sure if it was just the niche I was working with, but it seems to me that it would be very difficult to make any money by marketing in forms.
The weekly Action Plans in the Shoemoney Xtreme course are great motivation for taking consistent action, but this particular task made me realize that sometimes, it’s best to realize when you’re in a hole and move on before too much time is wasted.
If you have any experience with marketing in forums, let us know how it worked out for you?
